Learned something new today... It's crazy to think how we take some of these technologies for granted while never stopping to think about the individual human beings that made it all possible to begin with.
Anyone know of a good podcast or website that does a deep dive into the history of how different computer technologies (esp open source ones) came to be the way they are?
- jboynyc 7y agoI think I learned the MySQL tidbit recently from an episode of the podcast Libre Lounge. What you ask for is not a bad description of what the hosts of that podcast do: deep dives into open source technologies and discussions of how they came to be the way they are.
